Agriculture
Regional Food Programme
The Quercy-Rouergue and Gorges de l'Aveyron region is divided into three geographical areas with very distinct characteristics: the Aveyron Gorges, the Rouergue hills and the Causses du Quercy.
The land on the plains is fertile and suitable for arable farming, while the land on the causses is used mainly for livestock farming.
In 2021-2023, the Communauté de communes du Quercy-Rouergue et Gorges de l'Aveyron is committed to axis 5 "Ensuring the sustainability of the agricultural dynamic" of the Regional Food Project (PAT) of the Midi Quercy region.
A number of initiatives have been taken to encourage the next generation of farmers, including the identification of innovative and attractive diversification opportunities to revitalise the region and encourage the creation of new farms.
SOWING THE FUTURE
Today, family succession is no longer enough to ensure the renewal of generations, because although the CCQRGA had 292 farms in 2021, 39% of the farm managers were over 55*.
Plunge into the heart of the challenges and emotions linked to the transmission of farming in the CCQRGA and explore these authentic stories from the region by watching the short film "Sowing the Future" produced by Dans le Champs, Chrisophe Gernez.
